Business Intelligence Capabilities and Firm Performance: A Study in China

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology expands the boundary of business practice, inducing the emergence and application of business intelligence (BI) that has promoted the transformation of information techniques to optimize business decision and operation. However, there is a lack of theoretical consensus and measurement of the technology embedded in BI at present. This study exploratively develops the Sense-Transform-Drive (STD) conceptual model of BI based on dynamic capabilities theory and organizational evolutionary theory to explain the core BI capabilities. By using factoring analysis and structural equation modeling analysis, we extract the latent constructs and empirically verify the validity of the STD model and further examine the correlation and mode of interaction of the three core BI capabilities and the impact of BI application on firm performance in the real economy with a sample contextual to Chinese business practices. The study results show that there are direct and high-intensity cumulative positive effects among the structural components of the STD conceptual model and BI-related dynamic capabilities can enhance operating efficiency and firm performance.     

Divergent production in gifted adolescents using timed vs. untimed stimuli with creative prompting

Although creativity and expertise are related, they are nonetheless very different things. Expertise does not usually require creativity, but creativity generally does require a certain level of expertise. There are similarities in the relationships of both expertise and creativity to domains, however. Research has shown that just as expertise in one domain does not predict expertise in other, unrelated domains, creativity in one domain does not predict creativity in other, unrelated domains. People may be expert, and people may be creative, in many domains, or they may be expert, or creative, in few domains or none at all, and one cannot simply transfer expertise, or creativity, from one domain to another, unrelated domain. The domain specificity of creativity matters crucially for creativity training, creativity assessment, creativity research, and creativity theory. The domain specificity of creativity also means that interdisciplinary thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and interdisciplinary creativity are even more important than one would assume if creativity were domain general.     

人力资本所有者分享企业所有权的经济学分析

现代企业中,人力资本所有者分享企业所有权的份额呈提高趋势,究原因在于:人力资本所有者作为经济人,其经济价值随经济增长不断提升;人力资本具有专用性,与其所有者不可分离,决定了人力资本所有者只可激励不可压榨,这客观上要求人力资本所有者分享企业所有权;同时,分享企业所有权能有效激励人力资本所有者,促进企业绩效的提高,这是人力资本所有者分享企业所有权的直接原因。     

研发费用加计扣除优惠强度、研发投入强度与企业价值R D Deduction Intensity,R D Intensity and Firm Value 王芸 陈蕾

研发费用税前加计扣除优惠政策是当前我国重要的技术创新优惠政策之一,目的是促使企业加大研发投入和自主创新能力的提升。以2011-2013年创业板高新技术企业所享受的加计扣除优惠政策为研究对象,选取托宾Q值作为企业价值的代理变量,考察企业享受加计扣除优惠政策是否能够提升企业价值。研究发现：加计扣除优惠强度可以显著提高企业价值;研发投入强度对加计扣除优惠强度与企业价值的关系起到了正向调节作用,特别在研发投入强度超过5%时,加计扣除优惠政策对企业价值的促进作用更加显著。研究结果为加计扣除优惠政策如何促进企业提高研发投入强度提供了有力证据。

Leveraging electronic collaboration to promote interorganizational learning

By combining research on interorganizational learning (IOL) with that on IT-enabled collaboration, this study examines the role of electronic collaboration (e-collaboration) enabled through the use of interorganizational information systems in the development of a firm's capabilities such as IOL. Moreover, this study examines IOL as a capability posited between electronic collaboration and firm performance. Finally, we conceptualize IOL as a multidimensional construct composed of information sharing, relationship-specific knowledge memory, and the development of shared meaning and verify the relationships between them. The study provides an empirical analysis of the proposed model and hypotheses by considering data from various industries. The results indicate that e-collaboration was positively related to all three components of IOL. In terms of the relationships between these components, information sharing had a positive effect on relationship-specific knowledge memory, which in turn facilitated the development of shared meaning. Only the development of shared meaning had a significant effect on firm performance. Discussions and implications of the results are provided.     

The intermediating role of organizational culture and internal analytical knowledge between the capability of big data analytics and a firm’s performance

Firms are increasingly relying on business insights obtained by deploying data analytics. Analytics-driven business decisions have thus taken a strategic imperative role for the competitive advantage of a firm to endure. The extent and effectiveness through which business firms can actually derive benefits by deploying big data-based practices requires deep analysis and calls for extensive research. This study extends the big data analytics capability (BDAC) model by examining the mediatory effects of organizational culture (CL) between internal analytical knowledge (KN) and BDAC, as well as the mediating effects of BDAC between CL and firm performance. The findings bring into focus that CL plays the role of complementary mediation between BDAC and KN to positively impact firm performance (FP); BDAC also plays a similar mediatory role between CL and the performance of a firm.
